WordPress plugins are very useful. You can easily install a plugin from the WordPress dashboard.

**1.** Log in to the WordPress dashboard.

**2.** From the Dashboard menu, go to **Plugins** and click on **Add Plugin**.

**3.** Use the **Search **filter to find the plugins. Type **Security **to find plugins related to it.

**4**. The available plugins matching the keyword **Security** will appear. Click on **Install Now**, next to the plugin's name.

**5**. The installation can take a few moments. Once the **Activate** option appears, choose it.

**Note:** After activating a plugin, a new menu of that plugin will be added to the Dashboard menu. If a plugin requires a setup, it will display an option to complete it.
